Aston Villa vs Manchester United Preview
Aston Villa
Aston Villa’s blistering form continues, as the Villans beat Bayern at the Champions League. Despite the low odds, Unai Emery’s men were solid throughout the game and capitalized on a major error from Manuel Neuer in the 79th minute.
Jhon Duran was under the spotlight again. The Colombian’s phenomenal stats from the bench have been remarkable, scoring four times in the English top-flight.

Aston Villa’s composure against Bayern was visible. The club have a balanced squad, despite the departures of high-profile names including Douglas Luiz and Moussa Diaby.
As for injuries, Boubacar Kamara, John McGinn and Tyrone Mings will be absent. The latter has been sidelined for over a year following a knee injury.
Manchester United
Manchester United’s woes continue. In the last EPL fixture, Erik ten Hag’s men lost without a chance at Old Trafford against Tottenham (0-3). The devastating result sparked rumours about the possible sacking of the Dutch head coach.
In the Europa League, the Red Devils miraculously clinched a draw against Porto in injury time. While leading 0-2 Porto made a comeback, but Harry Maguire saved the day for Man United.

Ten Hag faced serious criticism for his performance. The club lacks consistency and they allow too many errors in the defence. In addition, they have problems in the attack.
Apart from the long-term injuries of Leny Yoro, Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia, Harry Maguire, Kobbie Mainoo and Mason Mount are questionable. Rasmus Højlund has returned and scored his first goal against Porto.
Aston Villa vs Manchester United Prediction
- Pick: Aston Villa to Win
- Odds: 2.15 (22Bet)
- Score prediction: Aston Villa 2-1 Manchester United
Manchester United are an inconvenient opponent for Aston Villa. In the last four H2H meetings, the Villans did not grab a single point, but in the following clash, they have a great opportunity to break their losing streak.
The Lions are now in much better shape than the Red Devils. They won six of the last seven games, and this week they even beat Bayern (1-0). Unai Emery’s charges spent a lot of energy but for United, the Europa League match against Porto was also energy-consuming.

Based on that, we think that Aston Villa are favourites in this match. Our pick would be the hosts to win.
Aston Villa vs Manchester United Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Over 2.5 Goals
- Odds: 1.58 (22Bet)
In the previous seven H2H matches, six ended with at least three goals scored. In the current season, only against Arsenal have the Villans failed to score a goal and the match ended in 0-2 defeat.
Man United’s disappointing draw against Porto will motivate them to bounce back. However, doing so will be difficult, as Aston Villa are formidable at Villa Park.

Both sides have issues in the defence, and neither of them can boast reliability. In the upcoming clash, we anticipate a goal-fest, where the teams will create a lot of chances in the attack. Our pick for the upcoming game is over 2.5 goals.
